A large group of workers are busy every day at the tion site of Decatur’s new .northwest elementary school in the north part of Decatur. There is every indication that construction will be completed late in August as scheduled and that classes will open tn the new school next fall 0 0 ” The United States Post Office Department has designated this week as Rural Mail Box Improvement Week. Postmaster Leo Kirsch, of the Decatur Post Office, in connection with the observance, has made several suggestions for rural patrons. A rural mail box should be of the approved type and have a good lid and signal flag. The supporting post should be painted white or aluminum and should be forty Inches from the ground. The box should be painted white and the name of the owner should be painted on the box in black letters. AH rural boxes art required to be placed on the right side of the road in relation to the direction in which the mail carrier passes the box. Postmaster Kirsch is required to make an annual inspection tour of all rural routes, and rural patrons are urged to have their repair work completed this week. 0 0 Local Democratic leaders will meet this week to formulate a short, entirely local, campaign platform for the November election. All of the Democratic candidates will assist in the making of the platform based on the belief that SB of you should know what is going on In your city and how your money Is being spent. Salaries of pubHe eMieiais and seat - of purchases and Improvements made by the city are of course necessary. How much of your money is used for these items and what becomes of the balance raised by taxation and obtained from the net profit of operating the power plant, are strictly local questions which every citizen is entitled to know. All of us certainly want Decatur to continue • to be the finest city in the middlewest and one of the surest ways to guarantee this is for everyone to know how our money is being 3pent and what improve- * ments are planned.

Dr. Kenneth McFarland nationally known educator and after dinner speaker, who is presently a consultant for General Motors, is coming to Decatur as the banquet speaker Monday June 20, at the Youth and Community center. While Dr. McFarland is not usually available for such meetings, he agreed to come to Decatur through the splendid efforts of Cliff Saylors of Saylors Motor Co. Mr. Saylors, who has been connected with General Motors for more than twenty five years, as Decatur’s Buick and Chevrolet dealer contacted officials of that corporation at the suggestion of Lowell Harper, general chairman for the Monday night banquet of the Community center dedication week, and was able to get a firm commitment from the noted and able speaker. We are sure that the bringing of such talent to Decatur will be a wonderful start for the opening of the new Youth and Community center. We are not only grateful to Mr. Saylors for his effort, but we congratulate him on his achievement. 0 0 The Decatur Public Library is fifty years old this year. Today’s library, compared with the first one. is a much improved Institution, with better reading room facilities; thousands of more books and many services to entice the reading public to the free use of these advantages. The Decatur Library, with its hard-work-ing board and splendid staff, has kept abreast of the times hnd has grown iklth the city it serves. Several summer reading projects will soon be started for the children and adult patrons in observance of the fiftieth year of the Library’s life. Dr. Noah A. Bixler. "Who has served as president bf the library board for years has shown an Intense in- ‘ terest in the growth and development of this center of cultural education and through his efforts combined with other board members and with the assistance of a staff beaded by Miss Bertha Heller the Decatur Public Library leads the way in comparable northern Indiana cities. The patrons always are welcome and especially so during the next several months. You can see for yourself how that great institution has grown to serve our community.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN 1 GARY had a sudden impulse to ten net about Bressi, tell her what Bressis criticism, good or bad, was going to mean to him. But ne ■ ! said, with a short laugh: “Probably stack it up with a lot of others.” “If you’re going to do that— Cindy doesn't like it—may 1 buy it?" He looked at her with some astonishment. "What would you do with it?" “Hang it in my room at home.” He said: "You can’t buy it but you may nave it some day. I'm sending it to a critic in Boston. When it comes back it's yours." “But I’d rather buy tt," said Enid. “Paints cost money." “We'll settle that later." Cindy joinea them, dropped down at Gary’s other side. “Oh, tor an ice-cold drink," she said. "Don't you use the well to keep things cold?” asked Gary. When ne saw oy their faces that they did not know what he was talking about, ne got to his feeL “Come and I'll show you.” • The pump rested on a platform of heavy planks. In one corner of it was a trap door. Gary lifted it up, pointed out the pegs driven into the undercasmg ot the platform, the strong cords looped on the pegs, the covered containers ot varying sizes attached to the ends ot the cords. “They're watertight—al least they were. You put your food into them, lower them down below water level. Things’ll keep foi days. No defrosting.”' “Aunt Jennie should know about it, too," cn^. Cig.<Jy,- “Til go get her.” back with 'Jennie Todd. Jennie looked down through the trap dooMt'T should have remembered seeing my mother and Aunt Bertha putting things th the well!” At that moment Hester’s car came around the house, stopped outside the barn door. Hester got out ot iL , "What a cozy little gathering you make!” she said, almost gaily. But Gary caught an edge tn her voice, that was not amusement. • • • Hester Wilmer had enjoyed her stay at the Saranac inn, her pleasant room, the competent service, Anne Babbitt's bits ot news from home. '‘Lydia-Holzwprtb-M simply a suck, Hester! I think they're sorry already that they made her president! The pageant commitlqe was simply stunned when they got your resignation!"

the hostess. Q. Is It correct to use the knife for cutting fish at the dinner table? A. N’o; the fork should be used for this. However, it may be necessary al times to use the knife to slip back a piece of refractory skin. Q. When a man meets a woman on the street, with whom he is well acquainted, should he offer his hand? A. This is strickly the woman’s privilege, and It is better to let her make the first move. Trash Fire Results In Department Call Only slight damage was caused to a fence back of Kelly’s Dry Cleaning plant on Ninth street at about id a. in. Saturday when a trash fire got out of control. Decatur firemen who were called, prevented the fire from spreading to the building.

Drew's flrm name on the eaveibfsT The postmistress said co her: “Here’s a letter for that Gary Norbeck up at your place. Been here several days. Want to take it to turn? From a bank. He gets them every so often.” Hester looked at the letter. "First Nauonai Bank, Salem, Mass." Salem. Anne Babbitt would be going soon tc Salem. She pushed the letter back upder the grating. "No, 1 am not likely to see nun. Anything tor Miss Enid Wilmer or Miss Jennie Todd ?” "Miss lodd come herself for mail yesterday." Hester was impatient to open Robert Drew's letter. Also, she’d like a cup at tea and a sandwich. She. remembered seeing an eating place somewhere nearby. She found Che place. A woman, evidently the proprietor, greeted her cordially. "Good afternoon. You’re the other one ot old Josh's nieces, art n t you?” “Yes, 1 am Jehosophat Trevett's niece. Lira Hubert Wilmer.” Something went out ot the woman's smile. “I’m Hannan Flebby, and 1 knew old Josh most before 1 could walk.” -’ Hester merely asked stiffly tor a cup ot tea and a sandwich. She opened Robert Drew s letter and read: “My dear Mrs. Wilmer: "With regret-1 must write you that it will be impossible toi me to go to Malone, as you suggest, to advise you, as your attorney, m Blatters connected with this estate you mention. 1 nave made inquiries about’the Killbuck lawyer who is the executor,, and find mat be nas a very good standing in that part ot the state, so 1 am confident that you can trust him and depend on ms counsel in any legal difficulties that may come up. "With best regards, “Robert Drew.” The coolness ot it —as it she were just spy client! How many times nad she bad turn and ms wife tor dinner? And it was Olive and Hester between ner and ms wife. By the time she reached the farm she nad regained ner composure. She drove into the yard. Then she saw them, Enid, and me girl from me back wing, Jennie, and a man who must be Gary Norbeck, ciiummily huddled around the pump, laughing. She went toward mem. She said something—she did not know what. She was gratified as she approached them to see the girl who called nerselt Cindy go into me back wing. * ,v. "Hello, mother —you’re bacltf" * “A\rathcr stupid greeting, darling, when you can see that 1 am back!” . , , “Mother, 1 want you to meet Gary Norbeck,” said Emffi ‘Hester merely lifted her head. “How do you do, Mr. Ntorbcck." “How do you do," said Gary as distantly. “He's been showing us how to

"It is 1 But 1 prefer to make my own arrangements tor work done tor me. However, mis time—how much do 1 owe you, Mr. Norbeck ?" ’ “Wail, Hester . . ." began Jen- , nie, but Gary Norbeck spoke be- ! tore she could go on. "Guess it took me two hours —maybe two and a nalt. Dollar an hour is wnat's usually paid in these parts.” Hestei did not like ms smile — an impudent tellow, she thought. Sne did not like Enid’s smile. She opened Her purse, took the money qut ot it, gave it to Gary. “If 1 I need you again, Mr. Norbeck, I’ll send word to you Will you come with my bag, Enid?" She went on to ner kitchen door.

Belgian Leader Says War Danger Lessened

By SEMOUR BERKSON (I.N.S. General Manager) (World Copyright, 1955, by International News Service. All Rights deserved. Reproduction in whole /or in part stricny forbidden without express permission of INS.) < BRUSSELS (INS)— Belgian foreign minister I*aul Henri Spaak, who haft, been playing an important role in international negotiations for peacei declared today that as a result of recent diplo-' matte achievements “the danger of war is less great now than a year ago.” In an exclusive interview with Inta*|btlorial XeWs Service after his Murn to Brussels from the historic North Atlantic' treaty organization (NATO) meetings of the foreign ministers ot the western powers in Paris, Spaak said: “It is incontestable that we are in an atmosphere today of decreased tension. "Without undue optimism I believe the desire to* find the solutions 1» there. A‘The greatest /menace to peace is mutual disWstA Peace will not be truly assumed until the day when disarmament becomes a reality.” Spaak said he favors the proposed tour power meeting at the highest level “as soon as possible." But he cautioned the people of the world not be expect too

much immediately in the way of results as these will be achieved “only at the price of plenty of patience.” With respect to the Austrian treaty and its possible effects on Germany, Spaak said he believes it will have some repercussions in Germany, pointing out that German neutrality is pne of the "chief goals of present Soviet policy.” But -Spaak declared - he believes neither the West German government of Chancellor Konroad Adenauer nor the majority German publie opinion ever would accept a solution to German reunification based on neutrality because “it would mean the end of Germany’s position as a major power." He added that if Germany -should decide to accept a role of neutrality it would “render impossible the defense of the rest of the European continent.” Spaak said he believes the destructive power of the hydrogen bomb paradoxically serves the cause of peace because “there no longer is a single statesman who can believe that a third world war would give his country a victory with the meaning formerly attached to that word.” Spaak expressed regret that the United Nations had not proved itself a more effective force for peace but he acknowledged that

efforts should continue, adding that he feels the UN charter should be revised to eliminate the veto. Regarding Western Europe itself, Spaak urged the utmost effort to integrate European nations into a United economic structure for mutual benefits, creating a vast unified European market by progressive lowering of tariffs. He said the Benelux nations (Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg) have invited France, Germany and Italy to join them for discussions of this subject on June 1. He declared the experience of Benelux economic cooperation offers an example of what could be achieved on a broader European basis. Spaak' bears a striking resemblance to Sir Winston Churchill In the latter’s younger days.
